Objective: Cerebellar infarct are seen in 1.5-4.2% of brain infarct and 47% of the posterior circulation infarct. In this study, we aimed to investigate the clinical course and prognosis of infarct in the territory of superior cerebellar artery (SCA), posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) and anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA). Material and Methods: We analyzed the records of patients with stroke treated in Harvard Educational and Research Hospital between 2007-2011. 106 patients with cerebellar infarct in the territory of AICA, SCA and PCA were included in the study. We evaluated the complaints, neurological findings, history and etiological examinations. Results: In this study, 45.3% of the patients were female, 54.7% of them were male. Mean age of the patients was 62. 64 ± 12.82. Of all patients, in 50% PICA, in 46.2% SCA, in 3.8% AICA infarcts were found. Most frequent findings were; dysdialakokinesia in SCA, dysartria, ataxia and dysmetriadysdialakokinesia in PICA. The most common risk factor was hypertension. Fatal infarcts were seen in SCA territory. Patients who could sustain life as an independent group were more frequently observed in PICA. Conclusion: Etiological and prognostic factors may vary between cerebellar infarcts according to the affected arteries
